Added archive https://web.archive.org/20051123103450/http://www.birley.org:80/dbirleya/d11.htm to http://www.birley.org/dbirleya/d11.htm#P31

Dubious source

This cited source seems dubious - it has Hugh Hornby Birley as born in 1817 in Didsbury (not Blackburn) and states "Apparently this is the same Hugh Hornby Birley who is celebrated (wryly) for his involvement in the Battle of Peterloo". Given that Peterloo took place in 1819, Birley led the Yeomanry charge at the tender age of two. More likely, this entry refers to his nephew, Hugh Birley (1817–1883), buried in Didsbury. Can a better source be found please? Cnbrb (talk) 11:58, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
